Hard-working Beatrice hopes to invest in a career in finance

Princess Beatrice is about to take her first career steps into the financial world after landing a job with a London-based venture capital firm – no doubt after a little advice from boyfriend Dave Clark.

After overcoming dyslexia to graduate with a 2:1 in history last September, Beatrice has taken on several work placements and now is poised to take on a role at an unnamed company.

A source close to Beatrice said: ‘She has been working really hard and she has been offered a job which she has accepted. Bea is already studying for her finance exams as a result.'

The source added: 'She really likes it and although the exams are tough, when you’re really into something like that it becomes easier.

‘I think she would like the idea of running her own business one day.’

Ready for a role: Lourdes

Madonna famously cut her daughter Lourdes out of her epic film W. E. – but now the teenager’s father Carlos Leon is trying to get her a role in his current film.

Dancer-turned-actor Carlos, 45, hopes to secure her a walk-on part in new comedy Thinking With Richard, which he is filming in New York.
